Photos illustrating the evolution of the campus from 1943 to the present can be viewed in a Web exhibit linked from the Library Web site under “Highlights.” The exhibit includes 21 photos, beginning with an aerial view of the campus in 1952 when it was located on Oak Lawn Avenue near the intersection of Maple Avenue. Also from the 1950s is a photo showing the present South Campus before any buildings were on the site. The exhibit ends with a recent aerial view showing the entire campus area in 2008.
Most photos in the exhibit come from the Library’s UT Southwestern Archives collection. Photos in the Archives span the years from 1943 (when the medical school was founded) to the 1970s. Anyone with an interest in the history of UT Southwestern and its people is welcome to use the Archives, which also contain extensive holdings of publications by and about UT Southwestern, such as:

• Medical school yearbooks (1944 to the present, with some gaps)
• Faculty & Administration Photo Directories (1971 to 2007)
• Campus phone directories (1943 to 2001/2002)
• The Center Times and its predecessor publications
• Books about the history of UT Southwestern

The Archives of St. Paul Hospital (now University Hospital – St. Paul), from its founding in the 1890s up through the recent past, have also been incorporated into the UT Southwestern Archives.
For more information about the Archives, visit the Archives page of the Library Web site, or contact Bill Maina, Archivist, by email or by phone at 214-648-2629. If you have UT Southwestern-related papers or photos that you would consider donating to the Archives, please contact Bill as well. The Library is actively adding material to the Archives.

The Library Web site has subject guides that can speed your research! Go to the Resources by Subject page on the Web site to see links to almost 200 subject searches. All Web sites included in those searches have been reviewed and evaluated by Library staff.
Most of the searches list Web sites only. However, about 25 percent of them cover their subjects in more depth and include other resources, such as books and journals. These have the word “Guide” in their title.
While most subjects are biomedical, a few focus on information formats. If you want listings of resources by format, consider the following guides:

• Blogs in Health and Medicine Guide
• Databases Guide
• Electronic Books
• Mobile Device/PDA Guide
• Podcasts Guide
• Wikis Guide – Health and Medicine

The New Items Added page on the Library Web site has been expanded to include print and audio journal issues. A list of journal issues received during the past week is posted each Friday. In addition to journal issues, other materials categories included in the “New Items Added” page are:

• Web resources
• Books & audiovisual titles
• Ejournal titles

The “New Items Added” page can be found by clicking on the link of that name under “General Information” on the left sidebar of the Library Web site.

Have you used Google Scholar to find information for research or patient care? Google Scholar is one place to start for such information, but the Library Web site has research and patient care resources that Google Scholar can’t offer.
Why? The Library purchases proprietary, professional-level information that publishers will not give away for free and makes that information available to UT Southwestern affiliates on the Library Web site. Examples are AccessMedicine (medical textbooks), Micromedex (drug and toxicology information), UpToDate (point-of-care information), and the Lippincott Manual of Nursing Practice online.
Do the options on the Library Web site leave you wondering where to begin? If so, here are some tips:

• To access a known journal title: Use the Ejournals A to Z list, from which you can often link to full-text of the desired articles.
• To get to a known database or other resource: Use the “Search” box (upper left corner of home page).
• To find information resources grouped by subject: Click on the Resources by Subject list on the home page.
• To identify a database that will give you access to the information you want: Click on the Databases Guide link under the “Biomedical/General Resources” heading to see a list of databases. For information about any database, move your mouse over the “I” icon next to the database name.

Our research librarians are pleased to advise you on the best sources for the information you need. Just call 214-648-2003, or use the Ask A Librarian page (under “Get Help/Ask Us”) on the Library Web site.
If you use Google Scholar to quickly get an overview of a topic and/or to locate some relevant materials quickly, remember that the results may not be as current or comprehensive as you need. That said, in Google Scholar you will sometimes see a “Find it @ Library” link which you can click to get to full text provided by the UT Southwestern Library.
To learn more about Google Scholar and how best to use it, check the About Google Scholar page on the Google Scholar Web site. From this page, you can link to two other useful pages: Google Scholar Help and Advanced Scholar Search Tips.
